“That's the power of literature, you know, it can act like little love letters between two people who can only explain their feelings by pointing at other people's.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“Chao ôi! Ðối với những người ở quanh ta, nếu ta không cố tìm mà hiểu họ, thì ta chỉ thấy họ gàn dở, ngu ngốc, bần tiện, xấu xa, bỉ ối... toàn những cớ để cho ta tàn nhẫn; không bao giờ ta thấy họ là những người đáng thương; không bao giờ ta thương”
― Nam Cao

“It’s difficult to know when love blooms; suddenly one day you wake up and it’s in full flower. It works the same way when it wilts—one day it is just too late.”
― Fredrik Backman, Britt-Marie Was Here

“All passion is childish. It's banal and naive. It's nothing we learn; it's instinctive, and so it overwhelms us. Overturns us. It bears us away in a flood. All other emotions belong to earth, but passion inhabits the universe.
That is the reason why passion is worth something, not for what it gives us but for what it demands we risk. Our dignity. The puzzlement of others and their condescending, shaking heads”
― Fredrik Backman, Britt-Marie Was Here
